The former England batsman previously served as joint interim
head coach with Craig Wright and the duo led Scotland to victory in
the 2014 ICC Cricket World Cup Global Qualifying event in January
and February.

Collingwood, who will work alongside coach Grant Bradburn, also
enjoyed a coaching spell with England at the Twenty20 World Cup
earlier this year.

"It's a great pleasure for me to be back on the coaching team
with the Scotland squad for the 2015 World Cup," he told the
Cricket Scotland's official website.

"I'm very much looking forward to working with them to help get
the team fully prepared for these incredibly important
matches."

Bradburn added: "We are fortunate to once again have the
valuable services of Paul Collingwood on board with us for the
World Cup.

"Paul will bring a calmness and confidence to our environment
and is very familiar with all of our players having been a support
coach with Scotland during the World Cup qualifiers in
February."

Scotland are due to open their World Cup account against New
Zealand on February 17, before facing England six days later in
Christchurch.
